The Diagnostic Imaging Department will feature state-of-the-art machines used for imaging at the hospital, while the Dietary Department will also conduct BMI and waist-hip ratio computation and interpretation, and teach healthy eating tips and dietary advice.
"There will be a lot of giveaways during the one-day health fair, and a chance to win raffle prizes as much as P2,000 worth of vouchers," she added.
Meanwhile, Administrative Chief Jonathan Barangan clarified that the CUDMC offers economical rates and services than other private hospitals in the region.
"We opened CUDMC during the height of the pandemic; some private hospitals, especially in Tuguegarao City, do not accept COVID patients, and we [CUDMC] opened our services to cater to those patients that needed high-quality care," he said.
"[The] CUDMC is the only hospital [the uses] hazmat suits for COVID-19, a suit that is a little bit pricey because we only use this suit once for the protection of our doctors and frontline health workers," Barangan added.
Barangan said that the month-long celebration, which started on May 5 with the theme, "United, One with You in Healthcare", included some physical challenges for the hospital staff, who call themselves “The Uniteds”, in ascertaining their commitment to their own health. Held last May 12, the Iron Lung and Treadmill Stress Test challenges were made open for the hospital employees to test their physical health, specifically, their lung functional capacity and cardiovascular health.
"We want our employees to become health-conscious too, to become true ambassadors of healthy living for our patient-clients. There is also an ongoing Biggest Loser Challenge, a weight-loss challenge, which will culminate this August," Barangan said.
He added that the Tricycle Sticker Day campaign conducted on May 16 to 17 at the CUDMC Pit Stop located at the hospital entrance driveway and various tricycle stations in Tuguegarao City, aimed to help tricycle drivers and operators plying the city combat the summer heat by offering refreshments, UV arm sleeves, and free blood pressure checks.
